I have a heart for women. And MORE specifically, I have a heart for seeing women EMPOWERED, confident, sure of themselves. MOST specifically, my heart aches to see a women feel — or be– stuck because they are not FINANCIALLY empowered.
Hear me out. This is a business message.
If you know me, you know I am PRO-MARRIAGE. 😊 Divorce breaks my heart. MOST marriages can be saved — and not just saved but REALLY transformed– with consistent effort by both people. AND I love my husband. Most may say that I’m obsessed with him. True fact: I married the only man who could handle me, all of me, my drive in all areas, my “crazy.” And he has MET ME FULLY in all my iterations over the years. I’m a lucky woman.
So, I LOVE him, like… beyond reason.
But I do not NEED him.
Need complicates grown up relationships and creates resentment.
Plus, In business and in life,
needy is creepy and repelling.
So, when you take my heart for women,
and seeing them EMPOWERED financially,
operating without a HINT of neediness…
You can understand how disheartening it is to watch some women entrepreneurs put on a pretty face and dance, dance, dance for the masses. Doing the stepfordpreneur march… as eloquently as they can… as well as they can….
Right foot up,.
Turn…
Smile…
Gracefully now,
keep it up..
oh, they’re watching you, they’re watching you.
keep going, woman..
they might like it..
Bow DEEPER now,
oh yes.. they DO like it…
Keep going…
dance, dance, dance,
I think they might click!!
maybe they’ll even BUY!!
Curtsy now, twist, turn…
smile for the camera!
And the thing that breaks open my actual soul is that their HEART, their INTENTION is so PURE. It’s just that somewhere along the way they adopted the story that they must look or be or act a certain way to succeed, to be liked, to be loved.
So, they look this way and that,
for cues
for how to act, what to say, which camera angles to use, whether to cuss or not, what to wear, etc.
They’re seeking validation, approval, acceptance…
and calling it marketing.
The truth is, EVERY TIME you “act like them,” you aren’t able to stand out as YOU…
and isn’t that what marketing is supposed to do?
To HIGHLIGHT you as you ACTUALLY are:
In a category of ONE?
With literally NO true competitors??
So, if you are NOT seeing your marketing produce as you hoped it would…
👠 consider where you may be posing for the camera, mugging for the camera. 😊
👠 Consider where you have adopted a costume instead of your ACTUAL skin.
👠 Consider what you might be doing that feels unnatural but expected.
👠 Consider where you may be PERFORMING instead of connecting.
👠 Consider what you are leaving UNSAID.
👠 Consider which business “rules” you may have accepted without ever wondering if they should apply to you.
Because woman,
you were BORN to succeed,
and to succeed AS YOU,
not some watered down version of some other woman succeeding as HER.
This is not a game of Mother May I.
This is the game of “go to bed proud.”
It’s your turn, woman.
You’re up.
We’re all looking at you.
So go out there and show them who you REALLY are, and see if THAT doesn’t magnetize your market… drawing in not only MORE clients, but more ALIGNED clients.
